VPN New Boy

[TomWilko]

Need some help, I may be completely missing the point of all this and any advice would be most appreciated.

I have a Netgear FVS114 Firewall sat in an office connected to a router which holds a static I.P address. I have followed the Wizard to allow me to set up a VPN at the Firewall end with straightforward settings it chose.

I have ran Windows VPN client but when I go to 'Connect' to the Network it just comes up with a message saying the I.P address or Network could not be reached.

I have pinged the I.P address, this is fine, but I cannot connect...any ideas?

The Firewall does not have a server sat behind it by the way. The aim is to connect to one of the 3 PC's behind it but I presume to just logging in to the VPN will allow me to see the PC's shared folders as just network places?

I may be being a bit vague here so just shout up what info is needed.

I've not got much experience with separate VPN products behind routers (in fact none - all my VPNs have been integrated into the router, such as the Draytek 2800VG I'm using now) but, has your router got VPN Pass-through, or does it need something enabling there, before you can reach the VPN on the firewall?

Not sure if this helps...someone has VNV client setup to access one of the PC's in the network from home. I unfortunately do not have access to this external PC and do you think because they have access via VNC that Router VPN pass through is already enabled?
